Using secure login

The sample connects to the POP3 server transmitting password in encrypted form.

By default, password is transmitted to POP3 server as clear text. If this is undesirable, you can force MailBee to use some sort of secure authentication. Just set AuthMethod property of POP3 object before connecting to the POP3 server.

For example, if AuthMethod=1, MailBee will use APOP secure authentication which is supported by most POP3 servers.

Note: Some servers do not support secure authentication of any kind.

Dim objPOP3

' Create POP3 object
Set objPOP3 = CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")

' Unlock POP3 object
objPOP3.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"

' Set POP3 server name
objPOP3.ServerName = "mail.server.com"

' Force APOP authentication
objPOP3.AuthMethod = 1

' Set user credentials
objPOP3.UserName = "username"
objPOP3.Password = "password"

' Connect to the server and log in the mailbox
If objPOP3.Connect Then
  MsgBox "Connected successfully"

  ' Close the connection
  objPOP3.Disconnect
Else
  ' Display error information
  MsgBox "Error #" & objPOP3.ErrCode
  MsgBox "Server response: " & objPOP3.ServerResponse
End If

  ' Display error information
  Response.Write "Error #" & objPOP3.ErrCode & "<br>"
  Response.Write "Server response: " & objPOP3.ServerResponse
